A dark loveliness runs through the grandeur of Leol’s “Time (feat. Hrtbrkfever)”. The production absolutely stuns with its muscular structure. With notes of a late-night quality, the song could easily fit into the sonic universe of HBO’s “Euphoria” for it has that similar cadence. Lyrics here matter and are mixed flawlessly. Every word is given a poetic treatment, for so much care is brought into the fray.
Best of all, the sound, a hybrid of R&B, hip-hop, pop, and dubstep all can be found within the atmosphere. Quite tasteful, the dubstep element has more in common with James Blake’s refined approach versus anything hysterical. Subtle shades are what make the song truly shine.
The song starts off on a high note from the very first moment. Trap beats further highlight the heaviness of the message. Vocals have an otherworldly presence to them, for they are sung with such passion. Snares snap for the crisp style helps to further extenuate the intensity of the sound. Layer upon layer enters into the track, yet it retains a degree of minimalism about it. Kept perfect, the hook reigns supreme over the whole journey. Carefully the song goes deeper, exploring the inner psyche, the navigation of relationships, and inherently how difficult that all can be. For the finale, the song goes full circle, returning to its early subdued origins.
“Time (feat. Hrtbrkfever)” shows off the exquisite taste of Leol in crafting a universe that has such an immersive quality to it.
